Marian Apparition, Miracle Of The Sun Described By Eyewitness

Below is one of the most amazing videos we have discovered on YouTube:




What follows the detailed description we received from an eyewitness to the scene.

The story of Maria in Ta Pao (Vietnam)

"Hundred people and I saw the sun turn round and round directly at 6 PM on August 12, 2007. At the same time, there had a silver disk which shaded the sunlight so that every people can look at the sun. A remain part around of the sun turn round and round that silver disk. After a few seconds I took my digital camera to record it."


"What a surprised is! I recorded another scene as you have seen on my video clip. I recognized that it is one of the miracles from the God. That event was happened at the foot of the Ta Pao mountain where had a Maria statue which was placed in 1959, in Dong Kho village, Tanh Linh district, Binh Thuan province, Viet Nam. Now, they get acquainted with calling "Duc Me Ta Pao". It means Maria in Ta Pao."


"Summarizing, we can see the sun turn round itself when we saw by our eyes. But, When we saw in camera, we can see the sun move forward and move back, and flash."


"On 13th of every month, that day is the day when Maria appeared, or on Maria holiday people come together to pray. There are thounsands people come there on October 13th every year. Viet Nam Congregation named that place is Pilgrimage Center of Maria in Ta Pao"


Best wishes,


Nguyen Dinh Quang



We are beginning to think that a deliberate effort is being made by some outside intelligence to reveal themselves, their beliefs and their intentions directly to the human public by going over or outside traditional leadership organizations, i.e. governments and churches. This effort is being made slowly, and deliberately in order not to create panic or social collapse. Each exposure is quickly followed by an official debunking and the overall effect is one of "hmmm, maybe there's something to all this."

As UFOs fly, suns spin and miracles manifest themselves to small groups, a tiny core of believers is formed who then relate their stories to trusted friends who themselves begin to believe. Once mass media gets hold of the story, it is shredded. But, through small groups of convinced eyewitnesses the truth is emerging, spreading and being accepted. Keep your eyes on the sky as you may be the next eyewitness to an amazing event!

Is Medjugorje Moving To Close?


Perhaps the Marian apparitions at Medjugorje are simmering to a boiling point as the latest revelation we received via e-mail contained an odd disclaimer:

"I have never [emphasis added] seen Our Lady address us in this manner. She extended her hands towards us and with her hands extended in this way, she said."

The decades long saga of Medjugorje is complicated involving no less than six visionaries who are receiving messages from the Holy Mother at various intervals and have been doing so since the phenomenon started in back in 1981 in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The messages themselves are straightforward, simple and, for the most part, positive. One can sign up to receive e-mail alerts containing the revelations at the official Medjugorje site. All has not been revealed to the public, however, as each of the six visionaries have been given a series of ten secrets, some are still receiving their allotment of ten secrets and only one of what will be a total sixty secrets has been revealed to the public. This secret warns:

"Our Lady has promised to leave a supernatural, indestructable [sic], and visible sign on the mountain where she first appeared. Our Lady said: 'This sign will be given for the atheists. You faithful already have signs and you have become the sign for the atheists. You faithful must not wait for the sign before you convert; convert soon. This time is a time of grace for you. You can never thank God enough for His grace. The time is for deepening your faith and for your conversion. When the sign comes, it will be too late for many.'"

The secrets have nearly all been revealed to each of the six visionaries; only three of them await their respective tenth secrets. According to the Medjugorje site:

"The ninth and tenth secrets are grave matters. They are a chastisement for the sins of the world. The punishment is inevitable because we can not expect the conversion of the entire world. The chastisement can be lessened by prayers and penance, but it can not be suppressed entirely."

The revealed messages often speak of the necessity of prayer, conversion and fasting which are universal, religious concepts. Occasionally, however, specific mentions are made of rituals unique to the Catholic Church, i.e. the Rosary, penance and confession. These mentions, in our opinion, put a tinge on the credibility of the entire revelation as it is our opinion that such divine proclamations would never be denomination specific. The 89 pages of messages from God (through Mary) are so contrary to the modern concepts of "thou shalt not" do this and "thou shalt not" do that that we are looking at them as quite possibly an attempt at correction of, or at counterbalance to the tenets of the modern church. According to the Holy Mother, prayer and fasting are vastly powerful tools and can redirect worldly events in a a tangible way, enough to ward off wars and "suspend natural laws". It is even stated that one of the evils of the already given secrets was averted through the use of these simple tools.

Normally the monthly messages from Medjugorje come on their own, without editorial comment from the visionaries. Then, days later, follows an official interpretation filtered through the mind of a priest. Apparently this latest vision, which lasted seven minutes, is part of what once was a daily apparition but is now an annual event occurring on the 18th of March. The unusual fact about this event is the stance that Mary took in her delivery. She had never reached out her hands before. Is this a sign that we are nearing the end of the revelation of secrets and are quickly approaching chastisement of some sort? When you approach your mother she might well reach her hands out to you.

Here is the text of the latest message from Medjugorje:

"Dear children, today I extend my hands towards you. Do not be afraid to accept them. They desire to give you love and peace and to help you in salvation. Therefore, my children, receive them. Fill my heart with joy and I will lead you towards holiness. The way on which I lead you is difficult and full of temptations and falls. I will be with you and my hands will hold you. Be persevering so that, at the end of the way, we can all together, in joy and love, hold the hands of my Son. Come with me; fear not. Thank you."

Marian Apparitions: Out of This World

Marian Apparitions
Marian apparitions could well be contact from another world. If you believe that the spirit is eternal, or that we are being visited by sentient beings from other worlds as "real" as this one, you may want to consider the phenomenon of these apparitions, which have been well documented over many years, as evidence that we are not alone. Today is the eve of the 150th anniversary of the apparitions of the Virgin Mary at Lourdes and on this occasion we invite you to explore the controversial topic.

The Blessed Virgin Mary, sometimes abbreviated "The Blessed Virgin", is a name used specifically by Roman Catholics and others to describe Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ. Implicit in the concept, is the virginity of Mary. The Roman Catholic Church also believes that The Blessed Virgin plays a continuing role in the church as well as the daily activities of her followers. Under the decrees of Vatican II Mary was designated as an "Advocate" or intermediary to the ultimate redeemer Jesus Christ. She is described as the "generous associate and humble handmaid" to Christ; and it is through her conception and nourishment of Christ and her compassion for Him as he died on the cross that, in the Catholic Church, she has been enshrined as "our mother in the order of grace."

We here at The Apocalypse Times, have been fascinated with the phenomenon of Marian Apparitions for years. Having spent much time researching the apparitions at Fatima Portugal, we believe there is something of substance to be gleaned from such events, and have decided to exhibit some of the information here so that our readers can explore on their own. We are not Catholics, nor is it our intention to promote the Catholic Church.

We believe that revelation is an important tool in building man's spiritual development. To think that God would not speak to us directly, through Christ or even His "Advocate" in modern times, is ridiculous. The Bible is full of many examples of revelation in ancient times. Why would God have stopped talking to us today?

Many of the messages that have come through Marian Apparitions are full of love. They ring true in many ways. Some of them are prophecies, such as the Three Secrets of Fatima which were fulfilled. Some, like the Third Secret, were surrounded by controversy when the world was let down by the seeming insignificance of the official Vatican release of its contents. The Third Secret was kept from public view for decades, and was believed to be of great significance. When it was revealed that it contained a prediction of the attempted assassination of Pope John Paul II, many felt that this event did not warrant the years of suppression. Many still feel that the Third Secret of Fatima is still being kept from the public.

We find it ironic, that the Catholic Church who has for many years suppressed the role of women in the church has, through the promotion of the Blessed Virgin, given Woman a prominent role in religion as an intermediary for Christ and God. We find it entirely believable that God would put the strongest example of love, a mother's love, before us as an example to follow. If you've ever looked for a metaphor of God's love, how about the convicted murderer's mother who invariably says to the press, "My son didn't do it. He has a good heart. He's innocent. I love him no matter what." We are convinced this is the same love that God has for all of us.

THE BIG THREE APPARITIONS:



The Most Amazing--The Zeitoun Apparitions

The apparitions were witnessed by millions above a church in Egypt in 1968. Many witnesses were not Christian nor even religious. Miracles were reported and there is video and photographic evidence of the apparition. The events took place intermittently for over a year and millions were converted.

  • Fatima

    The apparitions at Fatima took place in 1917, when the world was embroiled in the plague of death we call World War I. The Blessed Virgin appeared to three poor, young, and uneducated children in a small village in Portugal. In Mary's regular visits, she revealed three secrets to the children which were eventually to be released to the world.

  • Lourdes

    The apparitions at Lourdes France, like Fatima, were also made manifest to a child: a fourteen year old girl named Bernadette Soubirous. In no less than 18 appearances little more was revealed beyond the apparitions request that a chapel be built upon the site, that prayers of penance be said and a promise was made to Bernadette that she would be happy in the next world. With each appearance the crowds grew considerably. Today, Lourdes is a huge shrine and a pilgrimage site to the sick who seek healing from its miracle-giving spring.
